History says, Don't hope on this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme.

Yeah! I cried over politics for the 1st time in my life last night -- they were tears of joy! It's a momentous time for all persons of color. Si se pueda! (Yes we can!)
Unfortunately that great victory is marred by the passage of Proposition 8 here in California. I just don't understand that mentality...what a big setback in California civil rights.
But one hopes that the new administration will make strides toward correcting such inequities!!!

Great meeting you this weekend! I too will be spending the evening watching the returns and carving wood. It's calming.
Count me in, Annie!

The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

I got my Obama blocks carved and ready to go. That whole Shep Farley - viral imagery thing was too hard to resist.
Looking forward to seeing it, Tom!
